The Centrism Movement welcomes President Joseph Nyuma Boakai's latest actions in response to ongoing narcotics investigations. The decision reflects encouraging political resolve and reinforces the important principle that no individual should be above the law. We encourage the Government to continue these efforts by pursuing every person who may have participated in or facilitated these crimes, regardless of position or influence.
At the same time, the fight against narcotics must remain firmly grounded in the rule of law. Every accused person is entitled to due process and a fair hearing before an independent court. Those against whom the evidence is insufficient should be acquitted, while those found guilty after due process should be held fully accountable in accordance with the laws of Liberia.
Commenting on the development, Cllr. Kanio Bai Gbala, Executive Chairperson of the Centrism Movement and Assistant Professor of Law, said: "The President's actions are a positive indication of the Government's commitment to confronting narcotics related crime. The next step is to ensure that investigations are thorough, prosecutions are impartial, and justice is guided only by the evidence. That is how Liberia will strengthen public confidence in the rule of law and demonstrate that accountability applies equally to everyone."
